Infinium Robotics, the Singapore company that?s developing the drones for restaurant chain Timbre, has spent the past two weeks testing the technology at the restaurant before it opens each night 21 business and hopes to have it in place by the end of the year.

But how does the drone know where to hover (盘旋)? What if someone bumps into the drone or is standing in its way? “There?s no chance at all 22 it will hit anything,”says Infinium Robotics chief executive JunyangWoon.

Section B

Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only beused FDA OKs Genetically Modified Salmon for Human Consumption

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday approved genetically modified salmon (转基因的三文鱼), the first such altered animal allowed for human consumption in the United States.

The government had tried to 31 approving the fast-growing salmon for more than five years due to consumer concerns about eating genetically modified foods. But the agency said Thursday the fish is safe to eat.

In announcing the approval, the FDA sai d that there are“no biologically 32 differences in the nutrition of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm-raised Atlantic salmon.”

AquAdvantage Salmon was created by the Massachusetts-based company AquaBounty. Ron Stotish, the company ?s CEO, said in a statement that the fish is a “game changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally 33 manner without damaging the ocean and other marine habitats.”

The fish grows twice as fast as normal salmon, so it reaches 34 size more quickly. It has an added growth hormone (激素) from the Pacific Chinook salmon that allows the fish to produce growth hormone all year long. The engineers were able to 35

the hormone active by using another gene from an ocean pout (a kind of fish)that acts like an “on ” 36 for the hormone. Typical Atlantic salmon produce the growth hormone for only part of the year.

There is no evidence that the foods would be unsafe, but for some people, it?s an ethical (伦理的) 37 .Some people have promised not to sell the salmon, and it?s still unclear whether the public will 38 anappetite for the fish if it is approved. Genetic engineering is already widely used for crops, but the government until now has not considered allowing the consumption of modified animals. Although the potential benefits and profits are huge, many people havedoubts about controlling the

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

More Parents Shifting Careers to Achieve Work-life Balance As a television news host, Cynthia Demos?schedule made her home life a challenge. Working nights and weekends meant she rarely put her 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter to bed, or spent Saturdays at the park. So, three years ago, Demos began testing the waters to see if operating her own business making marketing videos would create an option for more 41 time.

Last month, Demos took a leap. Instead of renegotiating her 42 , she left her job to take her venture to the next level —building her own video production/media training company. It?s a career shift on a path to work-life balance that more 43 are making.

New research shows the top reason why people leave their jobs is to 44 opportunities with a better work-life balance.Those who make the 45 say there almost always is a main cause, either work- or home-related. It could be a life-changing event like the birth of a child, or it could be a new demanding boss, change in job responsibilities, or too many missed milestone events. It might even be a more 46 job offer.

For Denie Harris, the main cause was the attraction of a better 47 situation for a mom with young daughters. Harris had been marketing director for two companies in South Florida when an opportunity came her way to hold a similar position at her daughters? school. It was a decision that required 48 all factors. The upside included seeing her children during the workday and sharing the same 49 with them. The downside was leaving the corporate world and earning less. “Everything in life is a give-and-take,” Harris says. “For a mom, working at your children?s school is the best possible place to be.”

In the 50 to achieve work-life balance, working mothers ha ving been “quitting” jobs for more than a decade, choosing to stay at home with their children when 51 possible. But today, both men and women are making job changes, choosing work options that better fit their 52 lifestyle. The shift often means serious consideration of 53, including salary, advancement and fulfillment.

Doug Bartel, who left his job as a TV news producer more than a decade ago, says that what working fathers often look for is predictability and control over their schedules. They are starting their own law firms or becoming self-employed consultants to gain that 54.

Big salaries aren?t necessarily the golden handcuffs (手铐) they used to be. With the traditional 40-hour workweek becoming out of date, a survey of nearly 9,700 full-time workers by the global firm of Ernst & Young found that most parents are willing to make 55 and financial concessions (让步)for work-life balance.

41. A. balance B. business C. family D. entertainment

43. A. employers B. employees C. children D. parents

44. A. give up B. seek out C. act on D. substitute for

Section B

Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

（A）

At first glance Esther Okade seems like a normal 10-year-old. She loves dressing up as Elsa from “Frozen”, playing with Barbie dolls and going to the park or shopping. But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand out is the fact th at she?s also a university student.

Esther, from Walsall, an industrial town in the UK?s West Midlands region, is one of the country?s youngest college freshmen. The talented 10-year-old enrolled at the Open University in January and is already top of the class, having recently scored 100% in an exam.

“It?s so interesting and super easy,” she laughs. “My mum taught me in a nice way.” She adds: “I want to finish the course in two years. Then I?m going to do my PhD in financial maths when I?m 13. I want to ha ve my own bank by the time I?m 15 because I like numbers and I like people and banking is a great way to help people.”

And in case people think her parents have pushed her into starting university early, Esther disagrees. “I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my mum didn?t agree.” After three years of begging, Mother Efe finally agreed to explore the idea.

Esther has always jumped ahead of her peers. Her mother noticed her daughter?s gift for figures shortly after she began homeschooling her at the age of three. Initially, Esther?s parents had enrolled her in a private school but after a few short weeks, the usually-energetic youngster refused to go back to that school because the teachers didn?t let her talk in class. In the UK, education is not compulsory until five, so Efe started to do little things at home by teaching basic number skills but Esther was miles ahead. By four, her natural talent for maths had seen the eager student move on to algebra (代数学) and quadratic equations (二次方程式).

And Es ther isn?t the only maths miracle in the family. Her younger brother Isaiah, 6, will soon be sitting his first A-level exam in June.

56. Which of the following makes Esther Okade different from her normal peers?

A. She is the youngest college student in the UK.

B. She goes to university at a much earlier age.

C. She often gets full marks in maths exams.

D. She loves acting as a university student.

57. From the passage we can learn that _____.

A. Esther thinks her parents expect too much of her

B. Esther cannot adapt herself well to college life

C. Estherasked to go to university even earlier

D. Esther dislikes being taught at home

58. What might be a main factor thathas ledto Esther?s being a maths genius?

高三英语共10页第5页

（C）

Unless you are like Nasty Gal?s founder Sophia Amoruso, the passwords you use to access your email and the endless other accounts you need for work aren?t filled with intention. With increasing security requirements, it?s likely your word/number combinatio ns are becoming even less memorable. But new research suggests it may not be long before you won?t need to memorize passwords.

“Brainprint”, published in Neurocomputing, reveals that the brain?s reaction to certain words could be a unique identifying code—like a fingerprint—that could eventually replace passwords.

In a small experiment, the researchers measured the brains? signals of 45 volunteers as they read through a list of 75 acronyms such as FBI and DVD. The word-recognition response differed so much between each participant that a second experiment using a computer program could identify each one with 94% accuracy.

It?s not enough to feel totally secure, but promising enough to hint at the future of securing sensitive information.

The advantage of using such a biometricsystem (生物识别系统) is that it can be used for continuous verification(验证), New Scientist points out.Passwords or fingerprints only provide a tool for one-off identification. Continuous verificationcould in theory allow someone to interact with many computer systems at the same time or even with a variety of intelligent objects, without having to repeatedly enter passwords for each device.

As Hollywood has illustrated, it?s simply a matter of cutting off a finger to steal that person?s identity. “Brainprints, on the other hand, are potentially cancellable,”said Sarah Laszlo, assistant professor of psychology and linguistics at Binghamton University and co-author of the study, “So, in the unlikely event that attackers were actually able to steal a brainprint from an authorized user, the authorized user could then …reset? their brainprint.”

Until now, brain signals have been a challenge to understand. This experiment leaped over the obstacle by focusing on the brainwaves from the specific area that reads and recognizes words. The signal is therefore clearer and easier to measure.

The problem, so far, is that the brain signal is still not as accurate as scanning someone?s fingerprint, and initially requires sticking diodes (二极管) on your head in order to get a read. That?s ok, according to Zhanpeng Jin, assistant professor at Binghamton University and coauthor of the study, because brainprint isn?t going to be mass-produced any time soon. He says the researchers foresee its

高三英语共10页第7页

use at places such as the Pentagon, where the number of authorized users is small, and they don?t need to be continuously verified the way you do to access your mobile device or email.

Better keep your memory sharp, at least a little while longer.

63. In paragraph 5, “one-off identification” refers to the identification that _____.

A. happens as part of a regular series

B. interacts with intelligent objects

C. can be verified continuously

D. needs repeated verification

64. According to Sarah Laszlo, _____.

A. fingerprints can be canceled once stolen

B. brainprints are theft-proof and resettable

C. attackers can steal and replacebrainprints

D. users have the authority to cancel brainprints

65. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. brainprints will sharpen users? memory

B. brainprints will become easier to be measured

C. brainprints will receive narrow application

D. brainprints will eventually replace fingerprints

66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Brainprints: A New Way to Replace Passwords

B. Brainprints: A Unique Device to Identify Codes

C. Brainprints: A Quicker Way to Access Your Email

D. Brainprints: A Securer Device to Identify Brain Signals

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A School That Can Educate Us All

Christos Porios, 16, lives in a small Greek city. “My mother?s a teacher and my father?s a mechanic,” he explains, adding that neither is knowledgeable about computers—especially compared with him. 67

Porios was taking a free class in machine learning offered by Andrew Ng, a professor at Stanford University, over an online platform Ng developed with his colleagues. Drawing on what he learned, Porios was able to participate in the International Space Apps Challenge, a virtual hackathon (编程马拉松) using data from NASA and other government agencies.

If one teenager in one small city can become a genius hacker through an online course, does it

高三英语共10页第8页

mean the world has changed? We have been hearing about the potential of online education for decades.

68 A number of online education platforms have appeared, featuring professors from top universities offering free courses.

69 Ng was amazed. “It would take me 250 years to teach this many people at Stanford,” he says. And so, just one month into the course, Ng and his Stanford colleague, Daphne Koller, decided to leave their faculty posts(教职) and dive into online teaching full-time. In April, they launched their company, Coursera, with a $16 million round of venture funding. So far, it has managed to team up with 35 colleges in nine countries.

To Ng and Koller, Coursera?s mission is simple and yet grand. That is to teach millions of people around the world for free, while also transforming higher education.

According to Ng, the world?s top 20 universities enroll only about 200,000 students. There are million more who could participate in classwork at the higher level, but most of them are far from any of the leading universities. 70

Koller says Coursera?s total registration has hit 15 million. Porios, the young Greek, is only one of those registrants. His hope is to study in Germany or England someday. He is even toying with the idea of taking classes at MIT or Stanford—but this time in person.

IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Fun Offices Make Workers Happier?

In order to make their employees happier, companies around the world have been busy installing play equipment in the workplace. Table football, computer games and action figures have become common in some workplaces.

Despite all this effort, unfortunately, work still makes people unhappy. According to a study by the London School of Economics, the place where people feel most miserable is work.

To proceed with an emphasis on being happy, however, other emotions are crowded out. Anger, sadness, anxiety and uncertainty all become a no-no. Such a ban on negative emotions can be emotionally bad for employees. A number of studies have shown that being able to express a range of positive and negative emotions is important, particularly when people are dealing with difficult experiences.

Besides, being constantly on the lookout for happiness may actually drive happiness away from us. Scientists have found that when we talk about how important happiness is, we become less likely to find it, even when we have experiences that usually make us happy.

Wanting to be happy at work is fair enough, but being forced to be happy at work can be troubling. If companies were genuinely interested in making their employees happy, they would perhaps look at some more “down-to-earth” interventions (务实的干预). A simple step would be to stop interrupting workers with all sorts of pointless demands such as long emails and unnecessary forms. A study by

高三英语共10页第9页

Harvard Business School found workers felt most satisfied on days when they were able to focus on a piece of work and make meaningful progress on it.

In short, if companies really want to make their employees happier, they should think long and hard before pointless restructuring.

75. 共享单车不仅使用方便，而且价格合理，为短途出行提供了一种额外选择。(Not only)

VI. Guided Writing

Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.

变为没有约束的话语狂欢，并因此受到质疑和消解。由此，倡导对“批评”的批评，将“批评”本身纳入批评的视野中来，就显得异常重要。 ②按照通常的理解，文学批评的对象是作家和作品。这种理解虽貌似“中规中矩”，但 却忽略了一个问题，即如何对待批评本身：批评家对批评是否享有“豁免权 ．．．”？批评是少数主体自我授权的游戏吗？如何约束批评家的越界冲动？倘若批评本身不能被纳入批评的视野，那么其公正性和有效性又如何获得保证？公众号：语文教与学 ③当然，有人会说：批评家具有自我反思能力，可以自我审视、自我矫正、自我规范。然而，如果寄希望于批评家的自我批评，那么批评依然是独白而非对话。更重要的是，它所依赖的仍旧是自我授权的传统模式——批评家既是运动员，又是裁判。这等于把批评家当作不受约束的绝对主体，倡导僵硬而傲慢的独断论。事实上，正是由于缺乏有效的制衡机制，当下的文学批评时常显现为任性的话语实践：作品的质量往往被忽略，批评蜕变为“赠送桂冠”的仪式；当需要客观把握作品时，批评家喜欢将作品纳入自己预设的模式，甚至以漫长而随意的独白遮蔽了作品中的声音。长期如此，批评的声誉不可能不受到损害。 ④任性意味着独断。沉溺于独断的快感中，批评家必然忽略他者的存在，最终产生无限扩张的冲动。这种缺乏约束意识的批评可能会异化为“文学的敌人”。在文学史上，这种例子屡见不鲜，如道德主义批评本来是诸种文学批评样式的一种，但当柏拉图将它定义为排他的尺度时，“理想国”中的创作环境便不可避免地恶化了：“为了我们的灵魂之善，要任用较为严肃和正派的诗人或讲故事的人……他们会模仿好人的措辞，按照我们一开始就已经规定好了的类型来讲故事。”于是，描写世俗生活的诗人被驱逐，文学变成了单一的说教和颂歌。事实上，柏拉图并非没有进行任何反思：在对话中，他曾以辩论对手的身份探讨了自己犯错的可能性，但这不过是其自我授权过程中的小插曲——结论当然是证明了道德主义批评的至尊地位。 ⑤显然，批评家的自我批评并不可靠：在一个人的视野中，作为整体的他/她恰恰处于缺席状态。与此形成鲜明对比的是，他人可以从各个角度打量“我”，将“我”的全貌摄入心中，因此，对批评的批评可以克服个体的视野盲区。在柏拉图提出道德主义批评模式之后，其弟子亚里士多德很快就做出了修正：文学描述的人既可能比常人好，也会低于平均水准，因此，文学不一定非得表现嘉言懿行，各种主题均有其价值。虽未提及尊师的名字，但亚里士多德显然对柏拉图进行了具有针对性的批评。与此同时，道德主义批评实际上已经被纳入批评的视野，文学批评则升格为自我观照、自我省察、自我矫正的话语实践。 ⑥在中国文学界，对批评的批评虽然也已出现，但还远未形成常规性的批评样式，未上

2019年崇明区高三二模语文试卷 一、积累应用 10分 1．按要求填空。（5分） （1），晋代衣冠成古丘。（李白《登金陵凤凰台》） （2）吾尝跂而望矣，。（荀况《》） （3）秦观《踏莎行·郴州旅舍》中营造凄冷氛围，蕴含词人孤寂难耐心情的两句是“，”。 2．按要求选择。（5分） （1）下列选项中，名句使用最恰当的一项是（）。（2分） A．小赵乔迁新居，邻居们前来道喜，祝贺他道：“维鹊有巢，维鸠居之。” B．小钱做事不踏实，好高骛远，老师告诫他说：“慎终如始，则无败事。” C．小孙对上司指出缺点耿耿于怀，同事劝道：“信言不美，美言不信。” D．小李被训斥之后才安心读书，父亲抱怨说：“不愤不启，不悱不发。” （2）将下列编号的语句依次填入语段空白处，语意连贯的一项是（）。（3分）学与问相连，，，，，所以思想究竟须从记忆出发，创造究竟须从因袭出发。 ①不只是因袭而必是创造 ②凡是思想都是由已知推未知 ③创造都是旧材料的新综合 ④所以学问不只是记忆而必是思想 A．②④①③B．④①②③C．②①④③D．④②③① 二、阅读 70分 （一）阅读下文，完成第3－7题。（16分） 人是否有权想信什么就信什么？ ①人有权利相信任何他想要相信的东西吗？常有人称这种“权利”是固执无知者的最后避难所，当这些顽固分子被如山的证据和汹涌的意见包围时，他们会说：“我就是相信气候变化是一场骗局，别人怎么说我不管，我有这样相信的权利！”问题是，他们真有这个权利吗？ ②我们承认，人都有“知道”某些事情的权利。我有权知道自己的雇佣合同条款，医生对我的病情诊断，我在学校里得的分数，是谁在控告我，我的罪名又是什么等等。 ③然而，信仰 ．．并不是知识。就像分析哲学家摩尔在20世纪40年代指出的那样，你不能说“天在下雨，但我不相信天在下雨”，这么说是荒谬的。信仰渴望真相，但并不蕴含真相。信仰可以是错误的，可以缺乏证据或逻辑思考的支持。它们还可以是道德败坏的，比如性别歧视、种族歧视或恐惧同性恋的信仰，比如相信养育孩子的正确方法是“消灭意志”、严厉体罚，比如相信老人应该一律安乐死，又比如相信“种族清洗”是一种政治解决方案等等。 ④上面这些判断假定了信仰是一种有意为之的行为。但其实，信仰往往不太像有意而坚定的行动，更接近一种态度或者精神状态。有的信仰（比如个人的价值观）并非出自人的慎重选择，它们是从父母那里“继承”的，从同侪那里“获取”的，它们要么在不知不觉之间被我们吸收，要么由体制和权威反复灌输， 1

潘飞 ①从物质形态来看，“壁”是砖的累积物，但在某些特有的情境里，它却是话语和情感流泻的媒介。比如，佛教第二十八代祖师菩提达摩在少林寺面壁修行长达九年，一言不发，出洞时奇迹般地把自己的影子留在了墙壁上。他在《入道四行观》中将此举喻为“凝住壁观”，意在提醒人们遇到一切境界，心无贪爱取舍，不生烦恼嗔恨。这一点足以被新近出版的《壁上观：细读山西古代壁画》所证：死硬的“壁”生发出镜照功能，供人观视自我，感受“诸天宫殿，近处虚空，人天交接，两得相见”的艺术氛围。在壁画总量已达上万平方米的“佛国圣地”——中国文物大省山西的那一千余座大小不等的庙宇中，古代的画工在墙壁上作画，将信仰、敬畏、崇拜、祈祷等精神内涵付诸于笔下，镌刻于墙上，从而令内心所想固凝为永恒之态，便应和了此意。 ②普通人往往遇壁则返，但壁画的作画者却将其加以时空层面的延长，比如，墓室壁画、佛教经变画将苦短、有限的人世，向极乐世界、永生永世无限拉长，墙壁仿佛被打通，洞窟穹顶仿佛是对“升天之路”的模拟和神化，冥土之旅亦是人生行路的伸展，生界与死界、此岸和彼岸只有一墙之隔。故而，“壁”以及壁上之画实现了人精神上的解放和自由。壁上作画，是在万物有灵的观念支配下完成的对生命的特有的感知和开拓。 ③壁画建构的时空总是多维的、现实与非现实同在、逻辑和非逻辑共存、画面和环境互生的——从时间性来说，过去、现在和未来竟可以同在于一个画面里，这便脱离了架上绘画片断性、瞬间性的局限；从空间性来说，三维空间、想象空间、梦幻空间等组合在一起，是对作画者内心结构的拓展和深化，是不受现实拘囿的想像力驰骋的原野，外在地显现着心象时空的内在张力。同时，审美主客体即作画、赏画者之间的距离也荡然无存，功利欲望的束缚灰飞烟灭，审美体验最终超以象外，化入海德格尔所言的恬然澄明之境。如果追溯传统，不难发现，壁画依然延续了中国绘画的空间意识，体现着民族独特的思维方式、审美趣味和艺术品格，追求的仍是主客体的契合和突破具体时空的局限，营构表现生命意识和宇宙精神的感性空间。 ④与架上作画不同，壁画的作画者与其说是面壁而画，不如说是在完成“笔随心走”“象随意生”的自我传播——他们依照内心的感受、反思，在理解“粉本”和“义理”的基础上欣然运笔，重新加以演绎。体现在技术层面，就是画工总是以生物的眼光观照自然万物，以生命体会生命，追求天人合一的审美境界。因此，手中画笔俨然就是他们的唇舌、口齿，尽言其内心的通阔与敞亮。 ⑤壁画是人的精神世界的“物化”形态，图式亦不过是以情为桥，将作画者对于生命精神的感知，丝丝入扣地输送给后世的人们；他们仿佛把热气腾腾的情感植入一面面冰冷的墙土中，令其有了血肉、呼吸、脉动以及蓬勃的生气，以至于哪怕千年之后，赏画者的心也能穿透厚厚的墙壁以及历史烟云，与作画者对话、交织与共鸣。壁画要呈现的，“不仅是画，而应是一切”，画里的时空的绵延或顿挫，无不意蕴着画工的心智和情感，这导致画中的内容由具体的物象，发展到所思所想，最终升华为一种精神的抽象。壁画总是用“符

崇明区2018届第二次高考模拟考试试卷语文 一、积累应用（10分） 1.按要求填空。 （1）________，断桥头卖鱼人散。（马致远《双调·_______·远浦帆归》）（2）由是则生而有不用也，_________。（孟子《鱼我所欲也》） （3）黄庭坚《登快阁》中用典抒发因世无知己、怀才不遇之感慨的一联是“_____，______”。 【答案】(1). 落花水香茅舍晚(2). 寿阳曲(3). 由是则可以辟患而有不为也(4). 朱弦已为佳人绝(5). 青眼聊因美酒横 【解析】 试题分析：本题考查学生名句的识记能力。名句默写分为两大类，一是给出语境的理解性默写，二是给出上句写下句的直接默写。本题属于两者都有。考生应先分析语境，然后再结合具体的语境回顾诗句。默写的时候要注意如下词语：“茅”“辟患”“弦”“已”“佳”“青”等。 按要求选择。（5分） 2.面对不合群、喜欢单打独斗的小明，以下句子最适合劝诫他的是（） A. 君子周而不比，小人比而不周。 B. 独学而无友，则孤陋而寡闻。 C. 谦者众善之基，傲者众恶之魁。 D. 梅须逊雪三分白，雪却输梅一段香。 【答案】B

【分析】 【详解】 题干要求选出“面对不合群、喜欢单打独斗的小明，以下句子最适合劝诫他的”。这是考查语言表达的得体性。首先关注语言使用的对象，这是用在“不合群、喜欢单打独斗的小明”，其次要了解名句的意思。A项，“君子周而不比，小人比而不周。”该句的意思是守礼的人只讲忠信不合群，不守礼的人合群但不讲忠信。本句强调的是（不）忠信与（不）合群的问题。B项，“独学而无友，则孤陋而寡闻。”该句的意思是如果学习中缺乏学友之间的交流切磋，就必然会导致知识狭隘，见识短浅。本句强调的是交流切磋的重要性。C项，“谦者众善之基，傲者众恶之魁。”该句的意思是谦虚是各种善举的根本，骄傲是各种罪恶中为首的。本句强调的是谦虚与善、骄傲与恶的关系。D项，“梅须逊雪三分白，雪却输梅一段香。”该句的意思是梅花须逊让雪花三分晶莹洁白，雪花却输给了梅花的淡淡清香。借雪梅的争春，告诫我们人各有所长，也各有所短，要有自知之明。取人之长，补己之短，才是正理。分析备选答案及对象之间的关系。B项强调要合群，面对不合群、喜欢单打独斗的小明，B项最适合。故选B。 3.以下是一份讲座通知中的四句话，其中表述不得体的一句是（）(甲)为了更好地向同学们普及健康知识，(乙)提高同学们的防病意识，(丙)我们特邀请专家作题为“健康校园，防患未然”的讲座。(丁)届时欢迎同学们光顾。
